bAzTNM Remember WWF wrestling in the early nineties? Well the guy playing the lead role in this is the son of the "Million Dollar Man". Remember him? He had a guy called Virgil at ringside with him. Yeah, you know who I'm on about.In this film, Dibiase's son (also called Ted) plays a "Marine" who has to save a bunch of hostages taken captive by a madman. You can guess what happens in this end.If this was made in 1985, you could really see Chuck Norris doing it. Seems like the kind of film "Cannon Films" used to release in their pomp.

mactypetim79 ...But, this was not a movie about a marine. I have too much respect for marines to say that the hero was anything but some "muscle-headed moron" (nods to 'Its a mad mad mad mad world').In short I saw good action, so-so gun fights and merely OK hand-to-hand fighting as long as I called to mind DiBaise wasn't a true marine. After spending some time in Karate and learning about various military martial arts, seeing ham-fisted DeBaise pretend to be a marine while running around like some bull in a china shop proved to be unforgivable. That is, until he picked up that one small Asian guy like a flag-pole and hit a table with him - that was worth a laugh and snort at least.Leaving believability outside along with his partner, storyline, this movie is fun and entertaining for a few hours. Afterward, however, I believe you will be wanting for more as I did.

kankawin25013 The Marine 2 is an action movie which I interested when it was announced. I actually saw The Marine which made me "very very" disappointed with the "very very" bad ending and some amateur movie's directing style. (I have to blame this to Jon Bonnito and his crew who destroy the viewer's happiness) Therefore, I tried to watch The Marine 2 which I deeply hoped that it could be better.After the ending. I thought the Marine 2 is better than its prequel. It didn't show anything that looked silly or unreasonable, but it elevated violence as well. We still saw the bomb flick and many intense scenes, especially in the second half of the film. However, for the overall it's not the whole "great" movie, but if you want to see the mixed of action and drama film, The Marine 2 is the one of your choices.

Jay Harris The Marine; part 1, released a few year ago was by the numbers,a violent explosion galore action film, that was fun, The Marine; part 2 is a better film,the script follows all the required scenes for this type film.. The reason I liked it better is simple.The actor who plays the lead, LOOKS LIKE he could be a Marine.]Ted Dibiase Jr. the son of noted wrestler acquits himself well.Like Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson & a certain governor he could have a career in action films. He definitely fits the bill, His acting should improve. Lara Cox is his wife, She is pretty BUT needs acting lessons.The film was competently directed by Roel Paine.Michael Rooker is as usual good. & heads a decent supporting cast.As I said above, this movie was released directly to DVD. Rent it, I think you all will agree, it is passable entertainment,Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 72 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10))
